I just wear monovision contacts instead of bifocals. It's not for everyone, but if I had to deal with glasses in order to ride it would probably annoy me so much I wouldn't ride. (I never needed glasses before I was 42.)

Stick ons
I can't wear contacts.
The stick-on bifocals.... INteresting. I did see that in Road Bike Rider, and laughed because I've used them in my masks for scuba diving for years. But underwater I'm not trying to read the phone book. I never thought they were that great, but I can try them on a pair of glasses and see how they work. I have enough of them. Somewhere....

I have some Maui Jim curved frames with my distance prescription and a very small bifocal area. It works well for me. For what I paid, they'd better work well!
Tis better to wear out than to rust out....

I recently bought a pair of prescription sunglasses at my local optometrist for cycling. The frames are Columbia and they have progressive lenses so I can see my computer plus I got them in the Transitions lenses so they get darker and lighter with the UV rays outside. The frame does have a wrap style and they are working great for me. They weren't any more expensive than a pair of Oakleys and I felt better getting them locally so if there is a problem, they will make it good.
